After we were all up and about with Him scoring 175, this week we are down and out thanks to a knee injury to our man, our hero Gary Ablett. There wouldn’t have been many coaches out there who have Gary and didn’t make him captain. Those who missed out last week will be happy they don’t have him – but there is no need to laugh at a players injury! You know who you are!

Team Name: Lennyboy
Round 16 Score: 2064
Eliminator Status:gone ” overall ranking 1902
DT Studs:Swan, Pandles, Boyd, Mitchell, Gibbs, Shaw, Scotland, Heppell,Buddy, Goodes, Chappy
DT Duds: Ablett (c), Petrie, and Darling
On the Chopping Block:Darling, Z Sith, and probably Gaz Jnr if misses more than 1 week
Vent/Brag/Whatever: Had a great score coming if I didnt put Gaz capt instead of Pendles with 20mins to go, am top 2000 and figured I’d follow the crowd because I missed Gaz’s great score the week b4 and didnt want to fall behind the pack further. Also making Darling start on the ground in front of Isaac Smith wasnt a great move. Still have 7 trades left and have all postions covered so will probably keep my powder dry as long as Abletts injury isnt too serious.
Gary Ablett Jnr
@GaryAblettJnr
Scans are good! Just showed some swelling…. Nothing serious! #juststrainedaheartmuscle
ALERT!
Gary Ablett tweet just in.
“Scans are good. Just showed some swelling … Nothing serious!”
Next tweet says he will play “Hopefully this week”.
:)
Ooooh yeah!
fucking stoked, but not really surprised there isnt much wrong with gazza’s knee. he’s my favourite player in the afl, don’t get me wrong, but after watching him through out his whole career he has always seemed a bit soft when it came to injuries. i.e he seemed really hurt or stayed down for ages when there was nothing really wrong with him at all. this isn’t a dig! just an observation. ily ablett.
STOKED!!!
I just heard about his tweets on SEN. Helps us coaches relax a bit, especially with so few trades.
Thanks for a great week Jnr Boy Gazoli!
Now they’re saying if he gets through Wednesdays training session OK he’ll play this weekend!!!

Vent/Brag/Whatever: Happy with my score considering I had a donut in my FWD line. For once I am lucky to not be a GAJ owner.
going to need one of ablett bewick or wallis to play this week, what are my chances do you reckon?
I think Bewick may take Retzlaff’s place in the side, due to some poor performances from him in recent weeks.
i sure hope so, would much prefer to play wallis or ablett though
